Back to my parents when I was seventeen

After a moment of silence, Shen Xingyan rubbed his temples with a headache, "Let's talk business. Your uncle Xu said that there is no problem on his side, but your aunt Ye hasn't considered it yet and needs time. He actually wants to ask me to ask you, what is the longest deadline given by Ningning?"

Hearing this, Shen Yubai fell silent.

After a while, he told Shen Xingyan, "Tell Uncle Xu that the longer they consider this, the deeper the gap between Xu Chuning and them will be when he returns to the Xu family in the future."

Shen Xingyan was solemn and said in a deep voice: "Okay, I understand."

After ending the call with Shen Xingyan, Shen Yubai sent a message to Shen Sinian, telling him that Xu Chuning was fine and that he should focus on filming first and not worry about things in Jiangcheng.

The next morning, when Shen Yubai appeared at the door of the shop, Ban Shu, Deng Xitong and a few others were already there.

Seeing him, Banshu raised his eyebrows, "I thought you weren't coming here for breakfast today?"

"..." Shen Yubai looked at the people in front of him, "Did you make an appointment?"

Deng Xitong: "No, I only made an appointment with Ningning and Mingyin."

Ban Shu and Yu Gaoyi met on the road.

Shen Yubai nodded to show that he understood.

Xu Chuning was busy and had no time to greet them. They could help themselves to whatever they wanted or just tell You Shuzhen.

After breakfast, several people stood not far from the store entrance waiting for Xu Chuning.

After finishing his work, Xu Chu Ning walked out of the shop. When he saw the group of people waiting for him, he was stunned and asked, "Why haven't you left yet?"

"Waiting for you." Deng Xitong took her arm, "We all came here for breakfast, and it would be too much if we didn't wait for you."

Xu Chu Ning chuckled, "It won't be excessive."

"It's not excessive," Cheng Mingyin said, "but since we're here, of course we should go together."

Hearing this, Xu Chu Ning felt warm in his heart.

Although she lost a lot due to various reasons that she herself did not understand, she also gained a lot. At least in terms of friendship, she was luckier than Xu Zhiyan.

The group of people separated only when they reached the school.

As soon as he arrived in the classroom, Xu Chu Ning heard some classmates talking, "Have you heard about it?"

"what?"

"Didn't Xu Zhiyan from the international class come to school these past two days? Do you know what happened?"

"what's up?"

"What's wrong? Is she in trouble?"

"It's not like anything happened, but what she encountered was more serious than an accident."

"Just tell me now, don't keep me in suspense."

Hearing this, Xu Chu frowned.

That's not possible. When they talked about this matter that day, there was no one else around. Xu Zhiyan couldn't have told this to anyone else, and Shen Yubai and I couldn't have told them either. How did they know?

Just as Xu Chu Ning was thinking, the girl who spoke first said mysteriously, "I heard someone say that she doesn't seem to be her parents' biological child."

"What?" The classmates were extremely shocked. "Then she was adopted by the Xu family?"

"No, it is said that it was replaced."

"Oh my god," someone was greatly surprised, "Is there such a good thing?"

"What do you mean by a good thing? It would be a good thing if she could remain undiscovered for her entire life. Now that she has been discovered, it must be very miserable."

"Then I will applaud. To be honest, I have long been fed up with her big lady style. Her family is rich, but Shen Yubai and others who are richer than her will not show a disdainful attitude when talking to our ordinary classmates."

"Really? Last time I went to the second floor of the cafeteria to eat, I sat next to her without really paying attention. She even told me that no one could sit there. I asked her why, and she said she wasn't used to having people sit next to her."

"..."

In an instant, the students in the classroom were discussing this matter enthusiastically.

Xu Chu Ning listened with a frown and wanted to stop him, but just as the words came to his lips, Miao Xue walked into the classroom.

In an instant, everyone dispersed.

Immediately afterwards, the class bell rang.

Miao Xue raised her eyebrows and asked with a smile: "What are you discussing?"

No one spoke in the classroom.

Fortunately, Miao Xue was just asking casually and was not really curious about what the students were discussing together.

After the class officially started, Deng Xitong noticed Xu Chu Ning's surprise and called her in a low voice, "Ning Ning."

Xu Chu Ning came back to his senses, "What?"

Deng Xitong looked at her, blinked slightly and asked, "What were you thinking about just now? The matter of Xu Zhiyan——"

Before she could finish the rest of the sentence, Xu Chu Ning lowered his eyes and said, "It's true, but don't tell anyone yet."

Deng Xitong's eyes widened, "How did you——"

Halfway through her words, Deng Xitong suddenly reacted.

Xu Chu Ning has never been someone who cares about gossip. The reason why she knew about it today is probably because... she is the other party involved.

Suddenly, Deng Xitong thought of what was wrong with her on the first day of school.

For a moment, Deng Xitong opened her mouth involuntarily, "Fuck."

Xu Chu Ning: "... go to class first."

Deng Xitong looked at her calm and composed demeanor and had many questions to ask, but she also knew clearly that this was not the right time.

"I...I'll try." She tried her best not to gossip at the moment.

Xu Chu Ning was amused by her reaction.

After the Chinese class, Deng Xitong turned her head and looked at Xu Chuning with a eager look.

Xu Chu Ning was helpless, "We can talk on QQ?"

She thought for a moment and said, "Let's talk about it in the group chat of you, me and Mingyin."

Deng Xitong nodded quickly.

She first @Cheng Mingyin in the group: [Ningning wants to tell you something important. Don’t be too surprised when you see it, and don’t tell others to let them find out.]

Cheng Mingyin: [I also have something important to say. ]

Deng Xitong: [Then you say yours first.]

Cheng Mingyin: [I heard from my classmates that Xu Zhiyan is not her current parents’ biological daughter.]

Xu Chu Ning frowned: [Is your class also spreading this? ]

Cheng Mingyin: [Yeah, is your class also spreading it? ]

Deng Xitong: [Yes, but I don’t know who told it.]

Cheng Mingyin: [So is this true or false? ]

Deng Xitong: […seems to be true.]

Cheng Mingyin: [Damn! This is too shocking. Who are Xu Zhiyan's biological parents? ]

Deng Xitong: [I think you should be concerned about who Mr. Xu's biological daughter is.]

Cheng Mingyin: [Who is it?]

Xu Chuning answered at the right time: [Me.]

Cheng Mingyin: [You what? ]

Deng Xitong: […why don’t you read it in conjunction with the two sentences above?]

After this message was sent, Cheng Mingyin was silent for a long time. Deng Xitong and Xu Chuning both received a series of question marks from her again.

Cheng Mingyin: [Ningning you...]

Xu Chuning: [I went to do the blood test on the first day of school.]

Cheng Mingyin: [Oh my god.]

Deng Xitong: [I want to say this, too.]

Xu Chuning smiled: [But I may not return to the Xu family, so don’t tell anyone about this for now. Only a few of us know about it now.]

Cheng Mingyin: [Why don’t you go back to Xu’s house? ]

Deng Xitong: [Why else could this be? It must be because Ningning can’t bear to leave Aunt You.]

Xu Chuning: [That’s about it.]

But she really wanted to know who spread the news that Xu Zhiyan was not the biological daughter of the Xu family, and how they knew it.
